In the case of role-playing games, experience can be obtained when completing a specific quest, monster, or reward cyber money.

1 is a block diagram illustrating an example of a system 100 for executing an online game according to an embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 1, a tablet PC or notebook 110 and a mobile phone or a smart phone 120 are illustrated as an example of a terminal, and are connected to the server 140 through a network 130 to perform operations. Here, the network 130 includes, but is not limited to, the Internet, a LAN (Local Area Network), a Wireless LAN (Local Area Network), a WAN Or other types of networks that can send and receive information or data. In the following embodiments, data transmission / reception between the terminal 110 or 120 and the server 140 is described as being performed through the network 130, but the present invention is not limited thereto.

Hereinafter, a terminal 120 according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described as an example of a smart phone having a touch screen. However, the terminal 120 may be connected to the server 140 through the network 130, Any device can be used without limitation.

Here, the touch screen means a screen on which predetermined information can be inputted through a user "gesture ". For example, gestures described herein may include tabs, touch & hold, double tap, drag, panning, flick, drag and drop, and the like.

The "tab" represents an operation in which the user touches the screen very quickly using a finger or a stylus. That is, the time difference between the touch-in time, which is the time when the finger or the touch tool touches the screen, and the touch-out time, which is the time when the finger or the touch tool falls off the screen, is very short.

"Touch & Hold" represents an operation in which a user touches a screen using a finger or a stylus and then maintains a touch input over a critical time. That is, the time difference between the touch-in point and the touch-out point is equal to or greater than the threshold time. In order to allow the user to recognize whether the touch input is a tap or a touch & hold, a feedback signal may be provided visually or audibly when the touch input is maintained for a predetermined time or more.

"Double tap" indicates an operation in which the user quickly touches the screen twice with a finger or a stylus.

"Drag" means an operation of moving a finger or a touch tool to another position on the screen while the user holds the touch after touching the finger or the touch tool with the screen. The object is moved due to the drag operation or a panning operation to be described later is performed.

"Panning" indicates a case where a user performs a drag operation without selecting an object. Since panning does not select a specific object, the object is not moved within the interactive screen but the interactive screen itself moves to the next page, or the group of objects moves within the interactive screen.

"Flick" indicates an operation in which a user drags very quickly using a finger or a touch tool. It is possible to distinguish the drag (or panning) from the flick based on whether the moving speed of the finger or the touch tool is equal to or greater than the threshold speed.

"Drag and drop" means an operation in which a user drags an object to a predetermined position on the screen using a finger or a touch tool, and then releases the object.

The terminal 120 receives information on the effect to be applied to the character from the user and drag information from the first position to the second position on the touch screen. Then, the terminal 120 selects at least one or more characters positioned on the trajectory of the drag. Then, the terminal 120 applies the effect to the selected character using the information on the effect to be applied to the character received from the user. Then, the terminal 120 outputs the process of applying the effect to the selected character on the touch screen provided in the terminal 120.

The server 140 is connected to the terminal 120 through the network 130 and processes the information received from the terminal 120. [ Specifically, the server 140 receives information inputted by the user through the touch screen provided in the terminal 120 from the terminal 120, processes the processed information, and processes the necessary data in the process of executing the online game.

The transmission and reception of information (or data) between the terminal 120 and the server 140 connected through the network 130 and the data processing of the server 140 can be easily understood by those skilled in the art , And a detailed description thereof will be omitted.

Hereinafter, an online game to be described with reference to FIGS. 2 to 10 will be described as an example in which a user removes enemy characters using a friendly character. However, if the method described below is an available online game, It will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes and modifications may be made without departing from the scope of the invention. In addition, it is easily understood by those skilled in the art that an embodiment of the present invention can be applied not only to online games, but also to a technical field where a method to be described later can be used.

Hereinafter, a method of performing an online game according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. 2 to FIG.

2 is a flowchart illustrating an example of a method for performing an online game using a mobile terminal having a touch screen according to an embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 2, a method for performing an online game is comprised of steps that are processed in a time-series manner in the system 100 shown in FIG. Therefore, it is understood that the contents described above with respect to the system 100 shown in FIG. 1 apply to the method of performing the online game of FIG. 3, even if omitted from the following description.

In addition, the effect applying unit of the interface unit, the selection unit, the output unit, and the server (140 in FIG. 1) of the terminal (120 in FIG. 1) described below with reference to steps 210 to 250 may correspond to one or a plurality of processors have. A processor may be implemented as an array of a plurality of logic gates, or may be implemented as a combination of a general purpose microprocessor and a memory in which a program executable in the microprocessor is stored. It will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that the present invention may be implemented in other forms of hardware.

In steps 210 and 220, the interface of the terminal 120 (FIG. 1) receives information about the effect to be applied to the character from the user and drag information from the first position to the second position on the touch screen. Herein, the information on the effect to be applied to the character from the user (step 210) and the drag information (step 220) may be included in the embodiment of the present invention without limitation in the order of receiving the input from the user. A detailed description thereof will be given later with reference to Fig. In addition, the information on the effect to be applied to the character may be input in a manner that the user touches any one of the icons arranged on the touch screen.

The interface of the terminal (120 of FIG. 1) may include a general user interface unit. Specifically, the interface unit acquires input information from a user and displays output information to a user through a screen provided in the terminal (120 in FIG. 1). The interface unit includes a display panel, a mouse, a keyboard, a touch screen, And a software module for driving the input / output devices.

FIG. 4 is a diagram illustrating an example of a method for performing an online game using a mobile terminal having a touch screen according to an embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 4, the identification number 410 indicates a friendly character, and the identification number 420 indicates an enemy character. The online game according to an embodiment of the present invention can perform battle with the enemy character 420 by controlling the friendly character 410 using the predetermined information inputted by the user through the predetermined gesture. In FIG. 4, one allied character 410 and one enemy character 420 are shown as a total set, but the present invention is not limited thereto.

The interface of the terminal (120 in FIG. 1) receives information about the effect to be applied to the character from the user. For example, the interface unit can receive any one of the icons 430 arranged on the touch screen 400 by touching the user. Here, each of the icons 430 arranged on the touch screen 400 may represent different effects to be applied to the character. For example, each of the icons 430 may include a UI (a UI) symbolizing the effect that the friendly character 410 attacks using the fire toward the enemy character 420 or the effect that the enemy character 420 freezes for a predetermined time (user interface). Accordingly, when a user touches one of the icons 430, the effect symbolized by the touched icon 440 can be applied to the enemy character 420.

In addition, the interface of the terminal 120 (FIG. 1) receives the drag information from the first position to the second position on the touch screen 400. Here, the first position means a position at which a user starts dragging, and the second position means a point at which a user's drag ends. For example, if at least one enemy character 420 is disposed on the touch screen 400 of the terminal, the user drags from the first position to the second position on the touch screen 400, 410 may designate at least one enemy character 420 to attack. In addition, by touching each enemy character 420, it is possible to designate a target to be attacked by the friendly character 410.

The interface of the terminal (120 in FIG. 1) transmits information about the effect to be applied to the character to the server (140 in FIG. 1) through the network (130 in FIG. 1).

Referring again to FIG. 2, in step 230, the selection unit of the terminal (120 in FIG. 1) selects at least one or more characters positioned on the trajectory of the drag. For example, the selection unit may select characters corresponding to shapes positioned within an extended range by a predetermined range in a range of an area that the user contacts the touch screen through dragging.

Referring again to FIG. 4, if a user wishes to designate a plurality of enemy characters 460 present on the touch screen 400 as targets to attack, the user may move from a first position on the touch screen 400 to a second position The user can perform the dragging 450 up to < RTI ID = 0.0 > At this time, the selection unit of the terminal 120 (FIG. 1) selects at least one enemy character 460 located on the path of the drag 450 of the user as characters 460 to be attacked by the friendly character 410 . Specifically, the selection unit of the terminal (120 in FIG. 1) calculates the range of the area contacted by the user on the touch screen based on the drag 450 of the user, The characters 460 can be selected as the characters 460 to be attacked by the friendly character 410. [

At this time, the selected enemy characters 460 may be locked-on on the touch screen 400 to indicate that they are selected by the user. That is, as the enemy characters 460, which have conventionally been moved on the touch screen 400, are selected by the user, the movement of the shape can be expressed as being stopped.

On the other hand, the area where the user touches the touch screen 400 through dragging may vary from user to user. Specifically, if the user performs drag 450 using his / her finger, the area contacted with the touch screen 400 depends on the finger thickness of each user or the pressure of the user pressing the touch screen 400 It can be different. In addition, the shape of the enemy character 420 desired by the user may not be included in the range of the area where the user touches the touch screen 400 according to the time when the user looks at the touch screen 400. Therefore, the selection unit of the terminal (120 in FIG. 1) may select the enemy characters 460 corresponding to the shapes located within the range extended by the predetermined range in the range of the area where the user touches the touch screen 400, (460) to be attacked by the attacker (410).

The selection unit of the terminal (120 in FIG. 1) transmits information on the selected characters to the server (140 in FIG. 1) through the network (130 in FIG. 1).

Referring again to FIG. 2, in step 240, the effect applying unit of the server (140 in FIG. 1) applies the effect to the selected character using information on the effect to be applied to the character input from the user. Here, the effect to be applied to the character may include, but is not limited to, any one of reducing the stamina possessed by the character and reducing the stamina held by the character.

Specifically, the server (140 in FIG. 1) applies the effect to the selected characters using the information about the effect to be applied to the character received from the terminal (120 in FIG. 1) and information on the selected characters. For example, if an icon (440 of FIG. 4) that is touched by a user among the icons (430 of FIG. 4) arranged on the touch screen (400 of FIG. 4) (440 in FIG. 4), the effect application unit can apply the effect that the selected enemy characters (460 in FIG. 4) are damaged by fire. That is, the effect application unit of the server (140 in FIG. 1) may reduce the number of selected characters (460 of FIG. 4) by reducing the selected characters (460 of FIG. 4) (460 in Fig. 4) can be reduced.

The effect application unit of the server (140 in FIG. 1) transmits information on the result of applying the effect to the selected characters (460 in FIG. 4) to the terminal (120 in FIG.

The output of the terminal (120 of FIG. 1) outputs the process and result of applying the effect to the selected character through the touch screen (400 of FIG. 4). For example, the process in which the effect is applied can be an animation showing the process of the selected characters (460 of FIG. 4) being damaged, and the result of applying the effect is that the selected characters (460 of FIG. 4) (460 of FIG. 4) or a numerical value for fitness.
